Windows 7 forum: Windows 7 Diagnostic Policy Service

I am the Administrator for "my" home computer.I am unable to turn on my diagnostic policy service and there fore unable to diagnose faults or problems within my computer.

It started when I made an attempt to secure my Linksys wireless router. I re-reinstalled the Linksys program and with each attempt became further mired into conflict issues.I then restored my computer back 2 x weeks.

When troubleshooting this and other programs, I was informed the Diagnostic Policy Service was not running and therefore unable to continue.When attempting to start the Service in Windows Task Manager, a dialoge box indicated that access was denied.
